About:
curlftpfs is a FUSE-based filesystem that allows you to mount remote FTP servers as local directories. It leverages libcurl to provide transparent read and write access to files on an FTP host. This enables standard command-line tools and applications to interact with remote files as if they were stored locally.

Key Features:

FUSE integration for mounting FTP servers
Supports both read and write operations
Uses libcurl for robust protocol handling
Transparent access via standard filesystem calls

Use Cases:

Accessing and managing files on legacy FTP servers from a local environment
Integrating remote FTP storage into local development workflows
Performing batch file operations on FTP hosts using standard shell commands

Alternatives:

sshfs – Uses SSH/SFTP for secure file transfer, generally preferred over FTP for security.
rclone – A more modern tool supporting many cloud protocols with advanced sync capabilities.
